There’s a report that the DISCLOSE Act has been “procedurally added to the Senate’s legislative calendar today.” Follow @senatus on Twitter (or the blog) for the latest. UPDATE: A new dawn for DISCLOSE? It’s been re-worked as S. 3628 and a placeholder entry on Thomas is available here.
Much of The Post’s riveting series, “Top Secret America,” touches on corporations’ contact with government officials.
